True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1708

"Why do you sound as if you've had a taste of me before?" Cindy snickered, "I'm really talented in bed, do you know that? Every man who's slept with me has come back for more."

Heinz looked at her in disbelief. He could not believe how shameless this woman was to brag about something obscene like that.

Though, he was never one to care about other people's feelings, even more so towards someone like Cindy.

"That was in the past. I'm afraid that you are no longer as talented as you were in the old days. Let's just watch and see if you have the freedom and energy to resort to your old ways in the future," Heinz smiled and just left.

"Don't go!" Cindy panicked as soon as she realized that Heinz was about to leave. She rarely got the chance to chat with him alone, so she wanted to spend more time with him.

Heinz just ignored her desperate calls for him.

"Give me three more minutes," Cindy shouted anxiously, "Don't you want to hear what I have to say to you?"

"I think you'd better save that time to reflect on your conscience," After saying that, Heinz continued to walk away.

Cindy looked at his fleeting figure and mumbled, "Heinz, please just spend three more minutes with me. Can't you just give me a mere three minutes?"

She was met with silence.

Meanwhile, Gary and Alex waited for Heinz outside.

Gary frowned at Heinz when he saw Heinz walking out the door, "Why were you dawdling back there? What did you talk about with that skank?"

Heinz looked at his son's pale face and rolled his eyes, "What are you accusing me for? You're the one who offered to give her your blood, not me." "That's because your blood type isn't compatible with hers. If it had been, I'm sure you would've donated your blood instead," Gary retorted.

"I would never," Heinz answered nonchalantly, "You only did it for Celeste's sake. I'm not the one that needs to thank her for anything."

Gary snorted, "It doesn't matter what you say now that it's over. You could be lying for all I know."

Heinz ignored his son's teasing and replied with a faint smile, "Well, it's time to head back home. That woman's life is intact - for now."

Gary noticed that Cindy had recovered pretty well since she still had the energy to bicker with them.

Heinz turned towards Alex and ordered, "Get someone to keep a closer eye on Cindy. Don't give her a chance to play any tricks. Once Monica submits the evidence, Cindy will be carted away accordingly." "Understood, President Jones. I've already made all the necessary arrangements. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Cindy. She won't escape under my watch," Alex promised hurriedly.

"It won't take more than three days," Gary speculated, "I've already sent all the information to the Northern City's police department before Monica returned. I think there will be news soon." Heinz gazed at his son with pride, "It seems that you have your priorities set straight. Good job."

"Of course. I always plan before I tread," Gary smiled and raised his chin smugly.

Heinz chuckled and didn't bother to argue with his son.

The father and son duo then walked out with Alex.

As per Heinz's orders, Alex arranged for someone to keep a close eye on Cindy.

On the way home, Gary reminded Heinz, "After we get home, don't mention anything about what I did to anyone, understood?"

"Why should I agree to that?" Heinz raised his eyebrows and looked at his son, smirking, "Shouldn't you sound more courteous when asking me for a favor?"

Gary frowned, "This is for the sake of mom's health. She's pregnant. Do you want her to suffer from shock and injure herself from worrying about me?"

"Of course not," Heinz looked at his son with a devious smirk. Then, he said with a smile, "Who said anything about telling your mother? I can just tell Celeste all about it, can't I? You can't stop me."

Gary was momentarily stunned and gaped, "You're being too cruel. I can't have Celeste worrying about me after what happened. She just lost a baby as well."

"It's already been a few months. I think her body should have recovered from it. I'll have to tell Celeste about what happened today, but I'll make an exception if you address me as your dad. If not, forget it," Heinz raised his eyebrows.

Gary's frown deepened as he groaned, "You are taking advantage of the situation."

"Well, sort of. I don't think it's an unreasonable bribe. After all, there are not many opportunities like this. I finally have the upper hand for once. What do you think, my son?"

Gary looked at Heinz and chuckled, "Don't have such wishful thinking. I'm not threatened by you at all. The more you force this on me, the more I'm less likely to address you as my father." "Are you still in your rebellious phase? So many years have passed, so haven't you grown out of it? Why are you still so stubborn? I've waited so many years for you just to call me that."

"You're still youthful, aren't you? You have more children on the way. Don't pretend to be old in front of me, it's useless," Gary looked out of the window and decided to take the leap, "If you tell Celeste, I'll tell mom. After all, mom is your responsibility, isn't she? If she gets too worried about me and ends up harming the babies, it's on you. You're already in your forties, so think about this more maturely." After saying that, he smiled smugly.

"Oh, forget it, I can't deal with you," Heinz backed down willingly and compromised, "Let's just keep this to ourselves. You're the only one who signed up to suffer anyway. I suppose no one else can interfere with your decision."

"Yes, it was of my own will."

Gary knew Celeste very well. He knew that if Celeste found out, she would have wanted to save Cindy as well.

Even though there was a lot of bad blood between them, if Celeste found out that Cindy's life was at risk, she would definitely choose to save Cindy.

He didn't help Cindy out of compassion. He just didn't want Cindy to die so fast. It would be too easy for her.

Gary wanted Cindy to survive and suffer what the future had in store for her. He wanted her to live with a guilty conscience for the rest of her life. In his opinion, this was the best form of punishment for someone like Cindy.

Soon, their car stopped outside the mansion.

Gary and Heinz got out of the car and walked into the mansion. Celeste was still in the living room downstairs. When she heard the sound of the car engine, she immediately looked out of the window and said, "It seems like Gary and Uncle Heinz are back."

"Go take a look," Grace said.

"Alright," Celeste rushed to the door and saw two tall figures walking towards her.

Gary was taller than his father. When they walked side by side, Celeste could not help herself from daydreaming.

In a few years, she hoped that she could bear a son that could walk alongside both Heinz and Gary like that. It would be even better if she could bear more children. She was sure that if the whole family stood together, they would be a sight to be reckoned with.

When the time came, Uncle Heinz wouldn't be too old, and Gary would be around forty. She was sure that Gary would look much more mature than he was now.

"What are you doing out here?" Gary quickly walked over and asked Celeste gently.

Celeste immediately came to her senses and laughed, "You're both back. Aunt Smith asked me to come out to check on you guys. She's been worried about the two of you. Is everything alright?" "Everything's fine. Look, nothing happened to us," Gary answered and smiled at Celeste.

Celeste nodded and followed them into the room.

Grace also got up.

Heinz quickly walked up to his wife and smiled, "Sorry to worry you."

"No worries. Celeste kept me company the entire time. I didn't even know that this much time had passed. I'm a little exhausted at the moment. Now that you guys are back, shall we all call it a day?" Grace looked at her son, then at Heinz. She then let out a small yawn, ready to head upstairs.

Since Heinz and Gary had returned unscathed, she

was relieved.

In the meantime, Celeste looked at Gary closely. Gary's face seemed a little pale, but it could be due to the lighting in the room. She did not know if she was imagining it or not.

Just as she was about to ask, she suddenly shut up. She was worried that Aunt Smith, who was pregnant, would overhear her. As such, she decided to keep quiet for the moment. "Let's go to bed," Celeste said instead.

Gary nodded.

"By the way, Celeste, pour Gary a glass of juice," Heinz suddenly said.

Celeste looked at Heinz in confusion

Grace shot a suspicious look at Heinz as well. She thought it was off that Heinz would make such a weird request.

Heinz returned Celeste's gaze and said with a mysterious smile, "Just do as I say. He needs a bit of sugar in him right now."
